    Civilization V Crashing Problem Late in Game

    Did they ever get the Civ V late game crashing bug straightened out yet? Love the game but is sure is a pain in the arse to have to quit a game before finishing it because it won't stop crashing late in the game. I'm not going to try it again until they have a fix.
